Jaguars WR Hurns won't play at Titans because of concussion

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) The Jacksonville Jaguars will be without receiver Allen Hurns at Tennessee on Sunday.

Coach Gus Bradley ruled Hurns out Friday because of a concussion. It will be the first game Hurns has missed in his two seasons.

Hurns is the team's second-leading receiver, with 48 catches for 758 yards and seven touchdowns this season. Without him, fellow second-year pro Marqise Lee is expected to make his first start of 2015.

Hurns suffered the concussion in the final minutes against San Diego last week. He landed awkwardly on his head trying to make a diving catch, was strapped to a backboard and taken to a hospital for tests.

The Jaguars (4-7) also could be without two more receivers. Neal Sterling (illness) and Bryan Walters (back) are listed as questionable.

Linebacker Dan Skuta (groin) and running back Toby Gerhart (abdomen) also were ruled out.
